Could someone tell me what are those annoying "birdies" I am receiving all across the 20 meter band? They are spaced approx 60 khz and the signal is horizontally polarized. I have checked all my devices in the house and it also plays on my other radio as well. The signal is approx s-8 in al most any direction...

Any smart appliance with a switchmode power supply or processor chip can do that, and CFL lamps have an electronic ballast operating in the 40 to 60 kHz range. Rare that a CFL lamp would be that loud on harmonics unless very near the antenna or it's an older lamp going bad. Prime suspects would be anything large enough to radiate Q-5 (like a plasma TV) or something with a fair amount of wire it can couple into... Like a satellite TV box.

As mentioned previously, step one is to shut down your entire house to determine if the noise is internal or external. If internal (no power = no noise) bring up each individual circuit in your breaker box one by one until the noise returns. That should narrow down the source to a few devices. I know you checked everything in the house, but some things are easily overlooked. Like a porch light, nightlights, cable (or DSL) modem and router. The breaker box misses nothing.

If the noise source is external to you, think of this as a golden opportunity to learn the arts of direction finding by triangulation and public relations.

The interesting thing is that when I switch to my 43' vertical loacated 180 feet from my station the noise is gone (except for line noise) Switching to the dummy noise removes much but still clearly there... So it still appears to be a horizontal polarized noise. However I have yet to check my bridge and router..
